Accent Modification or Reduction

Everyone has an accent. It reflects our culture, ourselves, and is a source of pride. Sometimes we may want to modify our accents because of our jobs or because people in our everyday lives might not understand what we say.

Accent modification is an “elective” service designed for nonnative speakers of English who want to modify their speech pronunciation, sentence intonation, learn the subtleties and implied meanings in English, improve comprehension of English and cultural pragmatics. We provide individual and group sessions for people who want to modify their accents.
